ENTRY#2 - SELF LOVE















<3 SELF-LOVE <3


"Guess who's back, back again. Shady's back tell a friend.."
Hey! Excuse for my Eminem reference but yeah! I'm back! Thank you once again for  everyone who gave a little bit of their precious time to read my first article. It really means a lot.

For this article, I will be discussing about an important matter that most of us (including myself) tend to neglect. Self-Love. 


I want to start this off with a Bible verse:


Mark 12:31 

 "The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.”"


It speaks for itself right? The question is, how will you be able to love others if you can't even learn to love yourself? Not all of us realize this but loving oneself is actually very hard for most of us. Why? We tend to let ourselves get caught up with our doubts,insecurities, mood swings, unjust criticisms and expectations from other people. Having to deal with these problems are quite nerve-wrecking but at some point, we have to realize that we shouldn't let those things get the best of us. We really shouldn't.

Yes, I know it's easier said than done. But hey, you gotta start somewhere right?

I was browsing through Facebook when I stumbled upon a shared post by one of my friends. I am the type of person who likes seeing and reading quotations. It gives me that extra push to get things done. If any of you agrees with me, *virtual high-five*. Nowadays, Facebook has a lot of it. Some are what we call "Hugot" (which I'm not gonna lie, I also find them very funny and interesting), and most of them are motivational. It's technically about self-care but you get the point right? So here is the picture:

Some of you might have already seen this but for those who haven't, these steps are very helpful and if taken seriously can make a big difference to anyone. If you put your heart and mind to it, start making it a habit and continuously pray about it to God. Slowly but surely, how you feel about yourself will change to something positive. It's gonna be a long Hawaiian roller coaster ride but trust me, it will be worth it. ;)

 Oh and ONE LAST REMINDER. As long as you are not stepping on ANYONE for being happy then you're good. Keep doing what you're doing. :)

 I hope I was able to shed some sort of light to this for anyone who read this. Even just a little. =)
Talk to you in my next blog!

ENTRY#3 - WORST CRITIC EVER

Image
* WORST CRITIC EVER * Definitely, THE WORST CRITIC EVER! I give myself too much pressure especially, when I think of an idea that I'd love to do. But the thing is,  I would usually critique myself even before there is something to critique.   It's horrible... I so often judge what I'm doing, while I'm doing it and it leads to what ifs and even me  not  starting that idea at all. Nothing shambles your creativity better than that voice inside your head telling you that what you haven't even started, sucks. It's a frustrating feeling! :(   The fear of judgment and the pressure to do things right or make things good can make a person feel hesitant. I remember every time I decided to make a cover of a song I started to like. (And at first, it would seem like a great idea..) I would start listening to the song over and over again while memorizing the lyrics. But as I finish shooting the video and I start to watch what I did,that tiny voice...

ENTRY#4 - SEALED WITH A KISS (POEM)

ENTRY#4 -SEALED WITH A KISS A Poem by: P. Reomales He is my hope He is my source of joy and every time he smiles He looks like a little boy. I feel free, bold and new Every time when I am with you Everything feels so light the world seemed so right. But it seem things have gone quite out of hand We've gone far enough into a forbidden land Deserted, yearning for each other's touch. Sadness and sorrow, I can't get enough. I wish I could turn back time But sadly, I can't Enduring the pain of waiting is inevitably heart breaking. But I'm not letting go I hold on to a promise I love you, I do. Signed, sealed, delivered with a kiss.

ENTRY#1 - KNOWING WHEN TO START

Image
* KNOWING WHEN TO START * Hello. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for having the time in checking out my VERY FIRST BLOG POST EVAH. (Capslock para intense =D) . It took me a very long time to decide on what I really wanted to focus on. Unfortunately, I still haven't decided on that yet. YET. But until then, I decided on practicing my writing skillz. And what better way to practice your writing than creating your own blog and sharing it with the world. I don't really know if anyone is going to read this let alone my future blogs but, that's not really the point of why I created this. I wanted a place where I can put my thoughts, my take on different things and pretty much anything under the sun. (Not that I don't post enough already on Facebook..). I am fully aware of the phrase "Freedom of Speech". I also know well enough my boundaries and when I should draw the line in speaking my heart out. So, I will post what I want but...
